I am just starting Wellbutrin XL 150 once a day tomorrow for post-menopausal problems. I had a total hysterectomy 3 years ago and can't take hormones because I have a family history of breast cancer. I only take a half of bp med, no other meds and have never taken a psych med. I'm nervous about taking Wellbutrin because of the problems posters have discussed, but I need something to help me have more energy like I used to and something that will not squash an already poor sex drive (which is why I do not want to take an SSRI, also the weight gain). I want to feel more like myself prior to the hysterectomy, and not sedated.
Anyway, I'm hoping that someone will respond who has had a good experience with Wellbutrin. I would really appreciate it.
Also, if I do feel nervous and jittery, is it like taking a decongestant that makes you feel like your hair is growing? And how long do the symptoms generally last?
Thanks for your help.
